I bought an old tractor all dusty and worn
know nothing about it just the year it was born
but I'll wash it and grease it and pain it red
and it will live happily right here in my shed.

Thanks for your visits, comments and favs!!
Have a fantastic weekend!!
I only had this partial truck, so I decided to go with this rusty tractor for HTT. I thought it was neat because it has a roll cage. The farmer must have wanted to be a race car driver.
After the parade through town, around the mill and into the park, tractors either park or head out to the fields to work. Of course, t hey have farmers on them, too.
This 19403 tractor is postioned in the village of Thirlby by the ford at the river. It rarely never moves other going to shows but the local farmer starts up every other day and it works as new. Things were made to last back then.
One of my neighbours has an interesting hobby - miniature tractors! Here is the blue one parked in his driveway.
In the height of pollinator season, expansive meadows of clover, nettle, ragwort, hawksbeard, cranesbill, chicory, vetch, spiderwort, wild blackberries, wood violets, wood sorrel, Japanese rose, other wildflowers, sedges, red fescue grass, etc. were mowed down ... in other words, pollinators' food was tossed out.

A few weeks ago the farmers were very busy because of the harvest time. When I was driving home I saw this Tractor and thought this could be a nice picture :-)
Since the year 1964, Schlüter was specialized in tractors of the upper power range. At that time, that meant engines till 320 hp. Quite an exception in that era were tractors which obtained four tires of the same size, represented by the Super Trac series. The Profi Trac series were equipped with four equally sized tires, mounted on two steerable axles instead of just one. The rear axle of this Profi Trac tractors could steer in the opposite or same direction as the front axle, as well as steering not at all. In 1978, a unique specimen was built, the so-called Profi Trac 5000 TVL with 500 hp. At its appearance, it was regarded as the most powerful tractor of entire Europe. Later on, 184 Euro Trac were built, until the Schlüter company went bankrupt.

Far better known for their tracked vehicles, The Cleveland Tractor Company also produced a wheeled tractor, The General, of which this is the tricycle row-crop version. The General was introduced in 1939 but in 1941 the model was taken over by B.F. Avery and then by Oliver in 1944.

More work on the farm, this time collecting the grass to be taken away to become silage for the winter months. Watching these two tractors and drivers working together with perfect timing was fascinating. One is picking up the cut grass and depositing it into the moving trailer via the straw blower. As one trailer filled up another was on hand, attached to another tractor to take its place so there was no slowing down of the process. I can think of worse ways to spend a spring evening.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
Sometimes there are a few cars at the tractor shows. Here's some from this one.

I combined this shot with a dog walk in the hope that the blue hole stayed long enough to get this shot. Thankfully it just about did.
